Sunday Sunday Sunday! Time for another sweet & simple project.
This card only uses two stamp sets - Stampin Up's Extreme Elements stamp set and Bring on the Cake stamp set. I love the Extreme Elements set because it is perfect for making your own fun background!
Card RecipePaper: Peach Parfait CS; Whisper White CS; Everyday Enchantment DSP;
Stamps: Extreme Elements; Bring on the Cake
Ink: Pool Party; Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, Soft Suede, Early Espresso
Accessories: Brads - Neutrals
Tools: Distressing tool; sponges; paper piercing tool & mat pack
Creating the background here was really easy. I just stamped the different images from the Extreme Elements set in different colors and randomly on my piece of Whisper White CS. I knew I wanted to use the bog splotchy image as the focal point, so I stamped the other elements only along the edges. Then I "distressed" the edge of the Whisper White card stock with the distressing tool from SU's Cutter Kit. Lastly, I sponged the edges with my sponge and Soft Suede Classic ink.
The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from the Bring on the Cake stamp set. I simply inked it with Early Espresso classic ink and stamped over the Lucky Limeade splotch. Layering stamped images over each other is a super simple technique that can be used anytime! It works great with stamp sets like Extreme Elements. I used some pretty neutral colors for this card, which also puts it in the masculine card category. Since the front of the card was so easy to make, I decided to put something inside the card as well.
Again, I used images from the Extreme Elements set to make a coordinating background. The inside sentiment is also from the Bring on the Cake set.
Simple and Easy...perfect for a Sunday morning!
